Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues Composer(s): Ray Davies Performer(s): The Kinks
I'm too terrified to walk out of my own front door They're demonstrating outside I think they're gonna start the third world war I've been to my local head shrinker To help classify my disease He said it's one of the cases of acute schizophrenia he sees
Well the milkman's a spy, and the grocer keeps on following me And the woman next door's an undercover for the K.G.B. And the man from the Social Security Keeps on invading my privacy Oh there ain't no cure for acute schizophrenia disease
I've got acute schizophrenia paranoia too Schizophrenia, schizophrenia I've got it, you've got it, we can't lose Acute schizophrenia blues
I'm lost on the river, the river of no return I can't make decisions, I don't know which way I'm gonna turn Even my old dad, lost some of the best friends he ever had Apparently, his was a case of acute schizophrenia too
I got acute schizophrenia paranoia too Schizophrenia, schizophrenia I've got it, you've got it, we can't lose Acute schizophrenia blues
They're watching my house and they're tapping my telephone I can't trust nobody, but I'm much too scared to be on my own And the income tax collector's got his beady eye on me Oh there ain't no cure for acute schizophrenia disease

Acuarela Del Río Composer(s): Abel Montes) Performer(s): Raphael; Vlamers
Un canilla poi Una balsa una guaina Una flor en el río Un paisaje de cielo Reflejan las aguas del gran Paraná Mas allá, un camalote Va flotando hacia la orilla Que arbolada de sauces Nos invita a soñar Acuarela del río Que pintas de luces Mi dulce romance En el mundo no hay marco Más divino y bello Para nuestro amor Con su sol Con sus cálidos matices Con su brisa perfumada En mágico arrebol De un lento atardecer A la deriva el bote va Con mi amada por el río Meciéndonos con su vaivén Que acompasa nuestro amor Y apoyada en mi hombro Me murmura al oído Mientras beso sus manos Completan mi dicha Aromas de azahar
Were Gonna Change The World Composer(s): Ted Harris; Dave Matthews Performer(s): Matt Monro
Shirley Wood gulped down her breakfast Shut the fridge and joined the throng Margaret Beatty snatched the milk in Scanned the news and went along Annie Harris drew the curtains Screwed her eyes up, had a peek Saw the marchers, heard their voices Making early morning noises Stumbled back to bed and tried to sleep
Come with us, run with us Were gonna change the world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world Were gonna change your world
Shuffling through the cold black morning Went the marchers, spirits low Grunting greetings, grimly pressing Onto where they had to go When the sun came up, they brightened Stopped to have their Thermos brew Annie Harris got up gladly Pondered for a little, sadly Then got on with what she had to do
So, come with us, run with us Were gonna change the world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world Were gonna change your world
At their target, numbers swollen Up the marches, banners go Chanting, shouting out with leaflets Protest for everyone to know Sit in front of all the traffic Harried, busy shopping wives Try to stir their ostritch notions Whip them up to wild emotions Put some fire into their wretched lives
So, come with us, run with us Were gonna change your world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world Were gonna change your world
Shirley Wood was dragged still sitting By a policeman from the road Margaret Beatty had her face slapped By a man she tried to goad Annie Harris in the office Paused in typing, thought of Don Glanced again at his last letter Died for others to live better Brushed away a tear and carried on
Come with us, run with us Were gonna change the world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world Were gonna change.. Come with us, run with us Were gonna change your world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world Were gonna change.. So, come with us, run with us Were gonna change your world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world
Actuar Para Vivir Composer(s): Fito Páez Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Y te aplaudirán, te aplastarán aqui la frustración, la piel, las ganas aqui seras payaso y domadór aqui seras el juez y el perdedór aqui se invertiran los roles para usted Usted que esta alli nosotros arriba la calle, el escenario digamos mejor que es necesario actuar para vivir Y en un fatal primer acto nacemos cambiando siempre el vestuario y el juego siempre tras la emoción que es el sueldo esencial siempre tras la noche y las mesas de café jaqueamos la inteligencia como peón al rey jaqueamos la inteligencia. la hacemos canción
Toda esa magia escondida la de los altos telones no es nada mas que un anhelo de dos la gente, el actor las ganas de verse ahi Se escuchó el ultimo aplauso se fueron todas las luces quedaron solo fantasmas de ayer sin nombre, sin tez mañana quizas este el mio
We're Going All The Way Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil Performer(s): Jeffrey Osborne
We're just beginning And I know we've each been down this road a time or two And never could make it through But I've got this feelin' That we've stumbled in to what we've both been waiting for And maybe even more It doesn't matter where we've been `cause this time I know for sure

I know for certain That there's more than magic in these feelings that we found We're standin' on solid ground But now we're both ready Ready for the real thing `cause our dues have all been paid We've finally got it made Believe me when I tell you there's no need to be afraid
We're goin' all the way (All the way) We're headed far forever and that's where we're gonna stay The more you're near me, the more I know it We got it all here if we just don't blow it
We're goin' all the way (All the way) If the two of us both want it I'd lay my money on it Startin' today (Starting today) We're goin' all the way
We're gonna weather all the showers And hold together through whatever comes I know we got the staying power We're gonna make tomorrow ours If we just stick with it And give it all we've got to give it
We're goin' all the way (All the way) If the two of us both want it I'd lay my money on it Startin' today (Starting today) We're goin' all the way, mmm....hmm...
Oh...oh...baby, we're goin' all the way (All the way) If the two of us both want it I'd lay my money on it Startin' today (Starting today) We're goin' all the way, mmm...mmm...hmm...hmm...ooh...hoo...

Le soleil luit Sur les villes et sur les champs Tout là-bas un paysan Suit sa charrue en chantant Deux messieurs bien Parlant de chasse et de chiens Dans un bar américain Boiv'nt le whisky du matin Un enfant bleu Dans son berceau de bois blanc Fermant ses yeux innocents Meurt tout dou tout doucement La Seine plie Sous le ventre des chalands Sur la berge deux enfants S'enlacent en souriant Cent mineurs crient Sous le poids d'un continent Là-haut pass' un régiment Il y aura dix survivants Le soleil luit Sur les villes et sur les champs

You exploded into my life A shot heard around my world You changed everything

Will our love keep us afloat Here come the rapids, girl, to test our will And if the weather tips our boat We might loose everything, can we pay that bill?
Action speaks louder than words Action speaks louder than words Action speaks louder than words Can't wait, just do it Let's get down to it
Action speaks louder than words Action speaks louder than words Action speaks louder than words It's sink or swim We won't find out Till we jump in

Action speaks faster Faster than words Pull her towards you Let love be heard And when we kissed there was a room that had been emptied You said so much without a word Id been tempted Loves not for sale theres not a price Who could have rented Who lives here now come out and be found where I have nested
My eyelashes swam up through the tears The moments that passed took two or three years
And when we talked there was rain and no attraction Hand to my head, eyes to the ground, no reaction Our love was home, now its a fort thats held up to ransom What of us now, now theres no laughs, where is the action

Wer Schreibt Heut' Noch Liebesbriefe Composer(s): D. Zimmerman; Renée Marcard Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Wer schreibt heut' noch Liebesbriefe? Ich, ich, ich Weil ich das nun mahl so gerne tu' Doch ich schreib' sie alle nur an dich, dich, dich Denn Liebe, wahre Liebe, die gehört zu Liebesbriefen schon dazu
Wenn man sich heut' was sagen will dann ist das schnell getan Man geht zum nächsten Telefon und ruft einfach an Und ist sie in Gerzerslo Er jedoch anderswo Ist man ganz modern Und spricht eben fern
Wer schreibt heut' noch Liebesbriefe? Ich, ich, ich Weil ich das nun mahl so gerne tu' Doch ich schreib' sie alle nur an dich, dich, dich Denn Liebe, wahre Liebe, die gehört zu Liebesbriefen schon dazu
Ich führ' auch noch ein Tagebuch weil ich romatisch bin Auf jeder Seite stehst du da hundertmal schon drin Ich träume auch noch gern zu zwein Auf einer Bank im Mondenschein Und bin gerne wahr Ganz sentimental
Wer schreibt heut' noch Liebesbriefe? Ich, ich, ich Weil ich das nun mahl so gerne tu' Doch ich schreib' sie alle nur an dich, dich, dich Denn Liebe, wahre Liebe, die gehört zu Liebesbriefen schon dazu
Denn Liebe, wahre Liebe, die gehört zu Liebesbriefen schon dazu

If I step into the light And hold it in my hand Nothing left to see, Nothing left for me, anyway I feel the world is slipping Out of reach (I'm all alone) It's a memory It's a memory that used to be

I'm acting very strange without you, oh Another lonely day without you, oh I'm acting very strange without you, oh Another lonely day without you, oh
Wenn Ich Träum English Title: When I Dream Composer(s): S. Mason-Theoret; Michael Künze Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Rosen vor dem Fenster Und der Blick auf's Meer hinaus Ein verwunschener alter Park Ein Kiesweg vor dem Haus Kleider und Geschenke Was man sich nur wünschen kann All das geb ich gerne her Mir liegt nichts daran
Denn wenn ich träum Träum ich von dir Und frage mich wann Kommst du zu mir
Keine Schwäche zeigen Sich von ihrem Zwang befrei'n Unabhängig selbstbewusst Ich wollt es immer sein Ich lege das Make up auf Und zeige nicht was ich fühl Doch ich glaube selbst nicht an Die Rolle, die ich spiel
Denn wenn ich träum Träum ich von dir Und frage mich wann Kommst du zu mir
Ja wenn ich träum Träum ich von dir Und frage mich wann Kommst du zu mir
